Chapter 9 – To Show I Care

"Betty, I didn't read your notebook. I didn't even know it was in here. Are you sure you didn't leave it in here by mistake?"

"No Daniel, I didn't. How do you expect me to believe you, when you have it?"

"Betty! I don't know what to tell you, but I promise you I didn't take your notebook. I saw it and decided to come bring it to you. I'm not going to lie I really wanted to read it, but I didn't, okay? Now, can you stop yelling at me and not get mad at me for something I didn't do."

"Betty, Daniel's right." Amanda said as she stepped in the door. "I took your notebook and accidently left it in Daniel's office. I was sitting right outside and I know Daniel didn't read it. Sorry, Betty." Amanda said as she was standing at the door.

"Oh. Uh...Um, okay. I'm Sorry, Daniel." Betty knew she was going to have to make it up to Daniel for being so mean. She just saw him walking out of his office with her notebook and she panicked. Daniel just went behind his desk taking his seat and went back to his work. "I'll see you later, Betty." Betty looked down and walked out taking Amanda with her. Daniel sighed and looked through the glass. He looked back down and to the flower. She used it as some kind of bookmark, he thought. He was surprised at how the flower still managed to look like he had just given it to her. Maybe it really was magic. He felt like such a dork for thinking that. But Betty made him kind of believe in those things.

Betty took Amanda in the women's room to talk to her. "Amanda, why did you take my notebook? And I know you left it in Daniel's office on purpose."

"Betty, why don't you just tell Daniel how you feel?"

"What are you talking about?" Betty said trying to pretend like she didn't know.

"Betty, I know how you feel about him. You know things would be so much easier if you just told him. Why are you hiding it? Don't you think he feels the same way?" Amanda said trying to get some sense into Betty.

"Amanda, it's a lot more complicated than it looks."

"No, it really isn't Betty." Amanda said leaving Betty to her thoughts.

Later that day Betty came up with an idea to try and make amends with Daniel; she felt extremely awful for how she treated him. "Hey Daniel. It's Betty. I was just wondering do you want to maybe meet up for ice cream. I need a break from my family. Ok. Great. I'll see you soon. Bye." Betty walked back in to tell her family she was going for ice cream with Daniel. She really did need a break. Her family had to move in until the house was fixed, so things were a little tight.

Twenty minutes and a cab ride later Betty met Daniel for ice cream "Daniel, hey!" Betty said excitedly when she saw Daniel get out of his town car.

"Hey Betty!" he said walking up to her "So, your family's driving you crazy?" he said with a grin.

"I love them, but it can get pretty crowded in my apartment with 4 people and all their stuff."

"So, how long until you find out about the fire and fixing your house?"

"Umm...I think they said two weeks to find out about what caused the fire and then another week to fix up our house. Good thing it wasn't too bad."

"Ya"

Betty ended up making a special request for Daniel's ice cream. "The ice cream is my treat Daniel." She said smiling. They went in and Betty got Daniel his favorite ice cream with a special surprise. "What is this, Betty?" he looked at the ice cream to see a really cool seashell placed in the center. "It's a seashell!" she said excitedly making Daniel smile.

"Now we both have seashells." Betty smiled brightly. "Nice. Thanks Betty. It's awesome..." he said picking it up and looking at it. Betty smiled watching him look at it. When he looked up, "and Ta-da" Betty said pulling out the Aladdin DVD. "I know how much you liked Aladdin, so..."

"Thanks Betty." he laughed taking it from her.

"Oh and I have something else for you." She said with a smile and reaching into her bag. "Really?" he watched her loving how her hair was flowing against her face and the smile on her face. "Yep, here" she took out the issue of MODE and flipped it open to their piece. Daniel looked at it and saw that his name was on it too. "You put my name on the piece, too?" he asked surprised. "Ya, I mean you helped me with it. In fact, I don't think I could have done it without you."

"It was really you that inspired it, Betty, so I don't think I can really take the credit. But thank you." He looked at it again and smiled "I love that our names are together."
"Ya well, we are a great team. And I think we always will be. Even if we don't really work in the same place." Betty said smiling and looking at the piece.

"Well, I hope you don't end up too far." He looked at her and hugged her. "Thanks Betty." Betty was kind of surprised that he hugged her. She was usually the hugging person. She smiled and hugged him back. When he pulled back he looked at her "So, we should probably eat this ice cream before it melts?"

Betty laughed. "Ya, it's mostly melted now anyways."

Betty was surprised at how normal it felt to be with him. She didn't feel nervous to be with him today. Maybe she was just getting over it all. She soon came to find out that was definitely not the case. Daniel and Betty had pretty much hung out every night that week, going to the movies, going out for ice cream or pizza, going to a baseball game, having dinner with her family in her overly crowded apartment. They fought their feelings for each other, ignoring a lot of their daydreams.

They made a plan to hang out all day Sunday. They both were just really happy to be spending time together even if it was just as friends. Daniel realized that as long as he was around her, he was happy. Betty fought her attraction to Daniel as much as she could, but found that it was getting harder and harder the more they hung out.

They met up for breakfast and then were on their way out to start their day. "So Daniel, does all this time we spent together make up for before, you know the whole notebook thing? I'm sorry about that."

"Well, actually Betty, I kind of forgave you after the ice cream."

"Oh, I see. Well, why didn't you tell me?"

"Well, I just wanted to spend more time with you."

"Oh okay. Well, as long as we're cool"

Daniel smiled "We're good, Betty."

"So, what are we doing today Betty?"

"We're going to hang out in the city and go to a carnival that's in the park today"

"Oh, okay cool. By the way, you look great Betty" Daniel said admiring the simple black dress she had on. "Thank you" Betty said smiling, she knew her face was probably turning rosy from blushing, but she pretended not to care.
